I was wondering if you guys still hunted during rifle season? I don't, because even with blaze orange on, I still don't feel safe with some of the stupid people out there. It might be different if I owned my own land, but since I hunt on public land, I shy away from it. I do start up again once the season's over though.

Oh yeah! I hunt it all the way through. Whether I use my bow or gun just depends on my mood. I normally use the bow, but sometimes I want that extra range.

well see, i hunt private land during bow season but when rifle comes around i switch to rifle because i hunt public for rifle and its more challenging than bowhunting on private in my opinion

I can relate to that delemma. Down here in South Arkansas it is not as bad, because there is a lot of woods available to hunt in, but there are a whole lot of leases too. When I lost my lease about 6 years ago, I did not hunt for a few years , just because of the safety factor. But I found another lease 3 years ago and I hunt there now. But close to my lease last year a man was shot, WHILE HE WAS SITTING IN A TOWER STAND, by another hunter on a ridge above his stand. The hunter saw a deer and shot, but never saw the man in the tower.... GO FIGURE. So I guess nothing is 100 % SAFE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A FEW IDIOTS OUT THERE.

Be safe and good hunting

God Bless

100% Bow Only when hunting game. I leave the gun hunting to the less skilled folk.

No choice here, we have very few bow only seasons and most of those are after the regular "rifle" season.

Amen!

Yes. I have until January 7th when gun season closes. I may use one of my muzzleloaders once in a while but the bow is the way I enjoy the most.

Illinois you cant bow hunt during the two shotgun seasons.
